Mad About the Duke (2010)
“Lady Standon! Hold up,” the wretched blackguard called out to her.
Elinor continued apace.
In fact, she quickened her steps. Of course she was furious at St. Maur for his deception.
But there was one other problem.
She was utterly relieved that the Duke of Avenbury was, shall one say, unavailable. At least for a good ten years.
Relieved? She shouldn’t be relieved. Her list had just been halved. And she needed a husband. A ducal one.
Yet as much as she needed to marry, she couldn’t shake this da...ngerous desire to find a happy match out of this desperate situation.
A marriage of passion and fire, like the scandalous heat that burned through her every time she got within kissing distance of St. Maur.
Oh, bother! When she got in the same room with him. Dreamt of him. Imagined him at all sorts of hours.
How difficult could it be to find such a man?
Longford is such a man, she told herself, willing herself to believe it. He is. Respectable. Charming. The perfect choice.
Why, he’d been utterly attentive the other night at Lady Lowde’s musicale, solicitous even…and there were the armloads of flowers he’d sent over, expensive hothouse roses…sweet orange blossoms, and even orchids.MoreLess
